RE: Talking about Embperl at the O'Reilly OpenSource Convetion 20
02
Actually, I was at the conference last year and I didn't have to pay for
transportation.
The hotel is very close to the air port and they have their own free shuttle
bus.
The conference had a free shuttle bus that they used to take attendees to a
couple of
the local attractions.
If you think you will be able to come, make sure to stay in the hotel the
conference is at.
The hotel and airport are on a small peninsula all by themselves and there
isn't anywhere else
to stay within walking distance. The transportation cost from another hotel
to the conference
will be more expensive than the cost difference between the two hotel rooms.

Thanks very much to all of you who want to donate money to make it possible
for me to go to the conference :-)
I have taken a quick look, the flight is currently about USD 1000, I would
need to stay 5 nights in San Diego (to stay over the weekend), because
otherwise the flight would 3 times that price. My internet connection to US
is currently very bad (lots of packet loss), so I wasn't able to check for
hotel prices, but I guess it will be not to cheap. The cheapest room in the
conference hotel is USD 185, I guess it would be possible to find something
cheaper in town, but I have been told that on friday the Gay Pride Week
starts and that the hotel prices will be therefor much higher than normal
:-(.
So for covering the flight and hotel we would need USD 1500-2000. If you
think if we could collect something in this range, I would able to pay the
rest (eating, transportation etc.).
Just to give you an impression about the relation: Things like eating,
transportation, hotel etc. are about as twice as expensive in the US then in
germany.
Thanks again very much
Gerald
P.S. What's paypal account? (sorry my non computer english is very bad

My only though was, that $185 for one night isn't so cheap and that I maybe
find another hotel, that isn't such expensive. Of course when you stay at
the conference hotel, you don't need transportation
